A rebel-held village in northern Syria has been blitzed by airstrikes, reportedly carried out by Russia, with new footage showing a missile obliterating buildings on a narrow street.

The town of Al-Lataminah has become a hub of violence in the Syrian conflict this past week as military strikes ramp up against al-Nusra Front, an Islamist jihadi group with ties to Al-Qaeda.

Vision of a huge explosion was posted to YouTube by Mahmoud al-Hamwi on November 29, filmed by the Revolutionary Command Council in Hama.

The missile strikes its target while a photographer stands perilously close to the impact.

The village of Al-Lataminah is reportedly held by Jund al-Aqsa, an off-shoot of al-Nusra Front.

The latest airstrike comes after a senior commander of Jund al-Aqsa and 12 militants were killed by Syrian troops in Al-Lataminah on November 23, Fars News reports.

It is not known if the airstrike was carried out by Syrian or Russian forces; however the Russian air force has been increasingly active in its operations throughout northern Syria since the downing of a jet by the Turkish military last week.
